Both the DOC spokesman and Hunt said the agency has expedited a $13.2 million Federal Emergency Manage- ment Agency project approved after Hurricane Sandy that would shore-up parts of the island, moving up the pro- jected start date from 2019 from 2020. That project is currently in a pro- curement phase, an agency rep stated. Hunt said that the bones found are further evidence that the management of the island should be moved to the NYC Parks Department, a long-time a goal of her organization.
